[Javascript] parent loose handle to child

[Håkan Magnusson]

Sorry Dave, the browser has totally discarded the JavaScript space in 
memory from the previous page, so any variables will be lost.

But maybe you could set variables from the child window.

Try this first, I haven't checked it and it is a dirty hack. If it works 
  (with permissions and so on) then I can make the good version later.

parentWindow = window.opener;
parentWindow.location.href=url;
parentWindow.focus();
parentWindow.myWindow = self;
parentWindow.onload = function() { myWindow.focus(); };

Regards,
H
